Oyo State Police Command has arrested a 25-year-old cattle rustler, Muhammadu Bello, for allegedly killing his employer, Yay Mohammed, who was a cattle dealer at Soku Village, near Iseyin Town.

“Sequel to this credible information, a team of operatives attached to the unit to Iseyin town were deployed for swift intervention and in the process, the suspect who later identified himself as Mohammed Bello, was arrested and upon interrogation, he confessed that he is a cattle rustler and subsequently led the operatives to a thick forest where he concealed twenty (20) live cows and fourteen sheep that he rustled from his employer,” the PPRO stated.

The Club which he confessed to have used to attack and killed his employer was equally recovered from the scene of crime

"Investigation is in progress with assurances of communicating further developments.” Osifeso added. .
